House Rules by Jodi Picoult
Jacob Hunt is a teen with
Asperger’s syndrome. He’s hopeless at reading social cues or expressing
himself well to others, though he is brilliant in many ways. But he has a
special focus on one subject—forensic analysis. A police scanner in his
room clues him in to crime scenes, and he’s always showing up and
telling the cops what to do. And he’s usually right.
But when Jacob’s small hometown is
rocked by a terrible murder, law enforcement comes to him. Jacob’s
behaviors are hallmark Asperger’s, but they look a lot like guilt to the
local police. Suddenly the Hunt family, who only want to fit in, are
directly in the spotlight. For Jacob’s mother, Emma, it’s a brutal
reminder of the intolerance and misunderstanding that always threaten
her family. For his brother, Theo, it’s another indication why nothing
is normal because of Jacob.
And over this small family, the soul-searing question looms: Did Jacob commit murder?
Twisted by Sara Shepard
It's been a year since the
torturous notes from A stopped and the mystery of Alison DiLaurentis's
disappearance was finally put to rest. Now seniors in high school, Aria,
Spencer, Hanna, and Emily are older, but they're not any wiser. The
pretty little liars have more secrets than ever—twisted secrets that
could destroy the perfect lives they've worked so hard to rebuild.
Aria's jealous of her boyfriend's new exchange student. Spencer's getting a little too
cozy with her soon-to-be-stepbrother. Hanna's one scandalous photo away
from ruining her dad's Senate campaign. And Emily will do anything to get a swim scholarship.
Worst of all: Last spring break in Jamaica, they did something unforgivable.
The girls are desperate to forget that fateful night, but they should
know better than anyone that all secrets wash ashore . . . eventually.
The Water Wars by Cameron Stracher
Hundreds of millions of people
have already died, and millions more will soon fall-victims of disease,
hunger, and dehydration. It is a time of drought and war. The rivers
have dried up, the polar caps have melted, and drinkable water is now in
the hands of the powerful few. There are fines for wasting it and
prison sentences for exceeding the quotas.
But Kai didn't seem to care about
any of this. He stood in the open road drinking water from a plastic
cup, then spilled the remaining drops into the dirt. He didn't go to
school, and he traveled with armed guards. Kai claimed he knew a
secret-something the government is keeping from us...
The Line by Teri Hall
When Rachel and her mother move to Mrs. Moore's house-the one with the greenhouse, right next to the Line-Rachel starts questioning things. There are so many rumors of horrible things that lie beyond the Line-in a place called Away-but no one dares to talk about it. And it's no use asking questions- especially of Mrs. Moore, who has always lived by the Line, or of her mother, who is just happy to have a place to stay, especially since Rachel's father died in the war. But then Rachel comes across a recorded message-one that could only have come from Away. And the voice on the recorder is asking for help. As things start to unravel, the question becomes, how far is Rachel willing to go to cross the Line and do the right thing?
